Imagine
the world without any money. Not a dollar or cent. At first it seems a bit
insane, but if you think MORE into it, it makes sense. All the debt in the
world (which is 17.5 trillion) would just disappear. As individuals, we will
gain complete economic freedom. In return, a way of life without money demands
only that we, as individuals, do the work we love to do. It is a win/win
situation.
Everyone
would work for free in a “no money world.” However working, and not getting
anything in return is pretty whack, but everyone would have to work to keep the
society running properly. For example; farmers would still have to keep growing
and distributing food to stores, store clerks would still have to check the
food to make sure it’s not spoiled, the cashier would still need to keep
scanning the products and so on and so forth. People would
still need to work at the movies, breweries, restaurants, clothing stores, etc.
etc. to keep everything in order. People would go to work because they NEEDED
to not because they have to.
Without
any money, the world would have no issues. No money issues, no economic issues,
no class, issues, no debt issues. A world without issues is a world where
everyone can get along, because people would no longer have a weight on their
shoulder from their economic debt. When people have no issues, people have no
problems.
We
Americans love our freedom; yet, we have allowed the use of money to completely
dominate our way of life. Indeed, we are no longer a free people. We are 7.4
trillion dollars in debt. We live in fear of depression, inflation, inadequate
medical coverage and losing our jobs. Our freedom is at stake if not our very
survival. Yet, we put our collective heads in the sand.
Yes,
there is something we can do. We can look into ourselves for an answer. We may
find that we have the strength to carry out our internal economic affairs
without the need to use money. Yes, we will still need to use money when
dealing with other countries.
There
is no question that a way of life without money will alleviate if not
completely eliminate all of the previously mentioned problems. Yet, we scoff at
the idea. We are totally convinced that money is a necessity. We cannot imagine
life without money. Perhaps the time has come to think otherwise. It is
completely obvious our present economy no longer satisfies our present day
needs.
Can
we learn to distribute our goods and services according to need (on an ongoing
basis) rather than by the ability to pay? Why not? Poverty and materialism will
be eliminated! Our sense of value will change. Wealth will no longer be a
status symbol. A man will be judged by what he is; not by what he has. He will
be judged by his achievements, leadership, ideas, artistic abilities or
athletic prowess; not by the size of his wallet. - By John Steinsvold
Yes, everything will be free according to need. All the necessities and common luxuries will be available on a help yourself basis at the local store. Surely, this country is capable of supplying the necessities and common luxuries for everyone in this country many times over.
